I remapped Portal as 'skip to next bookmark' to make it easier to skip the ad-breaks but OPT would be a good alternative.
If you are trying to remap some other remote for use with a humax and are not sure what code a button is producing you can use DIAG (via command line or diagnostics web...
IF you can achieve 10MBs then a full backup would take about 10.5 hours so just about possible on a daily basis,
but I still think it would be better to do a full backup (possibly over several days) and then incremental backups of newer recordings on a daily basis,
Somehow you would need...
How many full copies do you need!
Once you have made your first full copy it would be faster to make duplicates on another machine - the Humax has a pretty slow USB transfer speed.
Obviously some copies should be moved offsite for safety.
There is little point in backing up every day recordings...
or the strip of tissue paper test
Ideally install the Fan package and set it to run at a constant 70% and the Tempmon package to warn if the temperature goes above 50
In my experience VLC is one of the few apps that will play .ts and .m2ts files, will your TV allow you to install VLC as an app
BTW the humax recordings are actually m2ts format mislabeled with a .ts suffix. The difference from real ts format is a timestamp in each frame header
The reinstall wizard is an unfortunately frequent occurrence on the humax and merely signifies one of its internal databases has become corrupt.
Letting the wizard run and then restoring schedule and favourite channels from backup is all that needs to be done.
There is no need to reinstall...
First problem found, couldn't connect to home VPN this morning
Checked the home PC and found,
Requires update but update not available WTF!
And how are you meant to install an update if you are away on holiday!
Well I tried it and it is very much easier than I had feared :), easier and more secure than setting up port forwarding
I already had a cheap nordVPN account (good cashback from a cashback site) so it made sense to use that rather than another VPN supplier but principles should be same.
My...

Rather than take that thread further off track I thought I would start a specific thread to discuss what is needed to achieve this, currently the wiki only talks about using port forwarding to gain remote access.
I currently have NordPVN and that has meshnet...

I have tried adding entries to mod/etc/hosts (and rebooting) without success
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.4.23 ls220d3b1
192.168.4.25 mymsmanacer
EDIT I need /root/etc/hosts instead !
But that doesn't survive reboot so an init.d routine needed to copy it across
Strangely...
A bit more digging shows that the problem extends to other devices including my Android mobile phone which used to be able to connect to the humax and other devices by name can't
I do have zeroconf installed on the humax - but still cant ping it from phone using either humax or humax.local 😠...
For many years I have had network-shares-automount configured to access my NAS using the host name LS220D3B1 but recently I noticed it wasnt connected and the log shows ping: bad address 'LS220D3B1'
The humax can ping itself by name but none of my other local device by name, it can ping by...
What do you use your Humax for?
Do you ever use the webif to schedule recordings or manage existing recordings?
You should probably uninstall the remote scheduling and auto-update packages first so they aren't wasting time trying to talk the servers but not real problem if you don't
Unless you...
No these commands need to be run from a command line, there is a Command Line option on the diagnostics page, or you can use Telnet or Putty
If prompted for a PIN try 0000, If given a menu of option enter cli for System command line, then right click to get Paste option
Occasionaly Sysmon's database becomes corrupted, you can attempt to repair it using the command here
if that doesn't work you can delete the old database rm /mod/monitor/monitor.db
Ideally the fix would be made in Nicesplice to not require a sidecar run but this may require a substantial change/rewrite
An easier fix would be to allow Crop, Join and Sidecar to run in the background processing queue - this would rmove the need to leave a web page open while these slow...
